In truth, I made more as 7ER/A than 744/B, but barely. Dollars per day, WB always wins. I did a pretty hard grind as ER capt. and did well ... but just coasting along in the 350 right seat is a cash machine. I think I've had two GS in 1.5 years. Could have had a lot more, but chose to be somewhat of a slacker.
